Some Gave All Chords by Billy Ray Cyrus

_ _ _ _ Hi, I'm Billy Ray Cyrus.
In 1989, I wrote a song called Some Gave All for a Vietnam veteran I met in Huntington, West Virginia.
_ Over the years and countless performances for worldwide audiences,
_ I realized that _ Some Gave All is more than just a song, it's a way of life. _
And last year after visiting Afghanistan and Iraq,
_ seeing the morale of our troops, I wanted them to know that we back home
_ appreciate _ and honor their support and dedication to our country.
_ So I decided to re-record Some Gave All. _
_ I was fortunate enough [A] to be joined by true American [Ab] heroes like Jamie Johnson,
Craig Morgan, and Darryl Worley.
[N] _ Together, _ we wanted to let our veterans know that we appreciate their sacrifice,
_ that they are [G] the true definition [D] of Some [G] Gave All.
_ [E] Thank you [Em] for [G] your support.
[C] And remember, _ thank a veteran.

_ _ _ _ [G] _ Left a boy, came back a man
_ [Em] _ Still many just don't understand
[C] About _ _ the reasons we [D] are free _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ Can't forget [D] the look in his eyes
[G] _ _ [D] Or [Em] the tears he cried
[C] _ _ As he said these words [D] to me _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ All [G] gave some, _ _
[A] _ _ some [D] gave all _ _
_ Some stood [G] through for the red, white, [A] and blue
And some had [D] to fall _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ If you ever [D] think of me
_ [G] Think [D] of all [Em] your liberties and [C] recall
_ Some _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] gave all _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Santa _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ came, he's no longer here
[Em] _ But his words are oh so clear
_ [C] _ _ They echo throughout [D] our land _
_ _ _ [G] _ For all his friends who gave us all
_ [Em] Who stood the ground and took the fall
To [C] _ _ _ _
help their fellow [D] man _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Love your country [D] and live with pride
_ [G] [D] Don't forget [Em] those who died
_ [C] _ _ _ _
America, can't [D] you see _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] All gave some, _ _
[A] _ _ some [D] gave all _ _
_ _ Some [G] stood through for the red, white, [A] and blue
And some had [D] to fall _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ If you ever [D] think of me
[G] Think [D] of all [Em] your liberties and [C] recall
_ Some _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
